  What Makes. Person A Pedophile?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.

  i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.

  is there an actual brain abnormality?

  I read an article about this...there are 2 kinds. The first kind is BORN this way, they know it’s wrong, but cannot control these impulses. The other kind are (mostly) men with poor social skills, can’t talk to grown women, etc. They can be helped with counseling and drugs. The others, who are born with attraction to kids, can only be stopped by castration or prison. The article also said that in England, when they identify the ones born with these tendencies, are provided, thru the NHS, with blow up dolls that are made to look like children, for these goofballs to use, instead of hurting real children. These dolls are not available in the US.

  Recommended Reading for ExJWs: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

  by Jehalapeno in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  first off, this is a book you want to read.

  avoid the movie franchise at all costs.

  horrible movies.. here's why i recommend this book: its prime focus is using rational reasoning to form your life philosophy - whether that be relationships, career or faith.. it also gives insight into the mind of someone who survived the geopolitical equivalent of the jws - the communist regime of stalin.. the antagonists of the book are referred to as "collectivists".

  saw this on the bbc and thought you should see it:is 25 the new cut-off point for adulthood?

  - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24173194.

  i was baptized in my early 20s so now realize was too young mentally to understand the full impact of that decision and the long term impact on my life.. the org should stop putting pressure on young ones to get baptized..

  They know what they are doing, they are trapping young born ins to a lifetime of slavery and servitude to their cult, with no easy way out.

  GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series

  by thedepressedsoul in

  2. child-abuse

  this letter was put out right when the series aired.

  seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.

  public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

  Was this PID available when Trey Bundy and Irwin Zalkin came to discuss things?

  Hello Trolley JW's...

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...at 1 peter 3:15 it says that if someone asks a christian about their christian hope, they should always be ready to explain it - with mildness & deep respect.

  may i ask you about just one belief which jw's have?.

  jw's have been instructed that god & jesus personally selected mr. rutherford and several of his associates as the first 'faithful slave' 101 dalmations years ago, in 1919. .

  I agree, most of their teachings seem to be from demons, not loving at all.

  Evil Wind Chimes

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  i remember going door to door in the late 60's with my mother as a 5 or 6 year old.

  one time she caught me looking at the wind chimes on a porch.

  she told me they had pagan origins, were evil, and were somehow connected to demons.

  Anatomy of a former JW

  by Victor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the respondents on my post on mental illness stated that it was the same of ex jw's.

  i thought about this for a couple of days and drawing from my personal experience, i can say that this is mostly true.

  if one is disfellowshipped, the act of forcibly cutting off all ties to a jw's way of life is painful and in some cases inducing cognitive dissonance.
